As above - Need a complete set rather quickly but don't wan't to sell a kidney to get them. Is Toyota the only, or best, place for these or can someone suggest elsewhere. Already tried a couple of cylinder-head shops here and in Brissy without luck.

C'mon people!

Another question - are 1HZ valve springs the same physical dimensions as the Lux? If they are,, good but would they work at a different tension/pressure to the Hilux ones?

First correct/helpful answer gets a Chupa-Chup in the mail :D :D

Ring your local engine rebuilder/cylinder head specialist and ask if you can buy them seperately from them and how much. I've never bought a set but I imagine there has to be an aftermarket supplier.

These guys do performance stuff but may be able to supply stock springs.
